1) Who was Rube Goldberg and what is a Rube Goldberg Machine?
RUBE GOLDBERG (1883-1970) was a cartoonist, an inventor, and the only person ever to be listed in Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary as an adjective. Of the nearly 50,000 cartoons he drew in his lifetime, Rube is best known for the zany contraptions of Professor Butts. These inventions, also known as Rube Goldberg Machines, solved a simple task in the most overcomplicated, inefficient, and hilarious way possible.
Rube Goldberg lives on in pop culture and is referenced daily in both print and digital media. His name is searchable, hash-taggable, and at best viral. But nowhere is his legacy more celebrated than through the competitions that bear his name.
Let's discuss simple machines and how they help us every day!
2) Get supplies from your home to try to create your own Rube Goldberg Machine using Simple Machines such as the ones we will discuss.
Examples of supplies you can use to build a Rube Goldberg Machine:
Paper Towel Rolls
String
Marble or Golf Ball
Ruler or Wooden Spoon
Cardboard
Paper
Paper clips
Blocks
Elastics
Wire
Can you build a Rube Goldberg Machine that makes a chain reaction? Video tape it and we can share it with the class next week!

February 8 - 12 Lessons
1) Who was Rube Goldber and what is a Rube Goldberg Machine?
RUBE GOLDBERG (1883-1970) was a cartoonist, an inventor, and the only person ever to be listed in Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary as an adjective. Of the nearly 50,000 cartoons he drew in his lifetime, Rube is best known for the zany contraptions of Professor Butts. These inventions, also known as Rube Goldberg Machines, solved a simple task in the most overcomplicated, inefficient, and hilarious way possible.
Rube Goldberg lives on in pop culture and is referenced daily in both print and digital media. His name is searchable, hash-taggable, and at best viral. But nowhere is his legacy more celebrated than through the competitions that bear his name.
2) Get supplies from your home to try to create your own Rube Goldberg Machine using Simple Machines such as the ones in the picture to the left >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Other supplies to build a Rube Goldberg Machine are:
Paper Towel Rolls
String
Marble or Golf Ball
Ruler or Wooden Spoon
Cardboard
Paper
Paper clips
Blocks
Elastics
Wire
Can you build a Rube Goldberg Machine that makes a chain reaction? Video tape it and we can share it with the class next week!
